Have we had enough of the press going after Sarah Palin?
When mayor of some small town she accepted gifts from local businesses. A facial. Flowers. A fish. The media reports on this because they can't come up with anything real to discredit her and they are terrified of her. Didn't Hillary have a little Whitewater problem, that was worth a little more than a freaking fish? If they aren't careful, they're going to make it easy for McCain/Palin to win because every attack just makes the average person more sympathetic to her. Had enough?
I'm surprised at how vehemently people hate Palin. If that much paranoid fear was shown toward Obama it would be used to prove that racism still rules America. In this case, I'm not sure what it proves. Perhaps that too many people are caught in lock-step with the left. Careful that lock-step doesn't evolve into a goose-step!!

Yes. I assume that you are referring to the high school slander that we have come so used to reading about in our local newspapers and news stations. I thought the whispering halls of gossip that we all learned to know so well were supposed to remain in high school when one graduated. Remember those mean girls? Sounds the same.
Talking about the Clinton's. Have you ever read The Clinton Body Count? Try googling it. Also, do you remember that the Clinton's had to return hundreds of stolen items from The White House, which they began shipping out months before they left? They did choose to keep some and negotiated to buy others for over 80,000. Most were returned that the investigaters knew had been stolen. Then, there is Whitewater...and of course, who could forget in Billy's own words,
" i promise you that I never had sexual relationships with that woman."
Kind of sad that these people are out to destroy Palin, our only chance for cleaning up the corruption found in Washington. Perhaps that is why these slanderous high schoolish smear tactics have been engaged by the Democrats. Words and lies certainly destroyed the lives of those high school students. Thank God Palin is bright enough to know what is going on. Yeah, they are scared to death of her, both corrupt Democrats and Republicans alike. She is bi-partisan and will not treat anyone differently. The corruption that she found in her own state was in her own party, The Republicans. Still, she squared off, challenging it and ridding Alaska of those no good, dirty politicians. If McCain/Palin become our leaders these corrupt politicians won't be getting those huge paybacks, like Senator Obama and Senator Dodd. These two corrupt Senators lined their pockets with paybacks from Fannie May and Freddie Mac. Dodd did get 40,000 more than Obama, but the point is that these two lending institutions are part of our financial crisis. Is Obasma really helping the middle class or is he out to take all that he can get? Palin is a fresh face, a reformer and a Maverick. Palin does have a proven rack record, unlike Mr. Present. She has managed a city and a state. The results are amazing and all pro Sarah, making her the most popular Governor in the country. Palin was able to cut her country's spending by 124 million and once gave herself a pay cut. However, a few months later the people reinstated her back to what she should have taken in the first place. Best of all she is not a lawyer (liar) and is not afraid of anyone or anything. While, Mr Present, Obama, a liar lawyer, especially made by the Corrupt Chicago Political Machine,managed to steal over 890,000,000 dollars of tax payer monies for his state.
Michelle made a statement which inferred that Americans do not need much to be happy. Americans must learn to share and that everyone deserves a piece of the pie. Really, and how much of her pie is she ready to share? I won't ask her for any, as I was taught to make my own. No, to Socialism. No to Obama.
Yes, I am a member of that middle class and I know that the two candidates that are out for the middle class are McCain/Palin.

Tired of it??? Are you kidding! Every time she opens her mouth she makes a fool of herself. How about those Republicans that want her OFF the ticket?? Her own party doesn't even think she's capable - and she has proven that each she has agreed to be interviewed.
Did you watch the Katie Couric interview? If not.. you definitely should. She basically just strings together a bunch of basic political buzz words in a random order that makes no sense. Maybe people that don't know exactly what's going on or what those terms mean, won't realize that she didn't actually say a thing. SNL did a skit of the Couric/ Palin interview and it wasn't so much making fun of her as it was just an instant reply of the whole debacle!
Why are people crying that the press is going after her??? If you think she is so capable of leading this country, she should be capable of speaking the press intellegently. You want her to go up against Vladamir Puten but she can't handle Katie Couric??? Seriously people... THINK!!!!!

No. Absolutely not. The press needs to STAY after her and do so continuously. That this woman is as dumb as the lowest common denominator of WASP American women is plainly obvious.
The more this is made known, the better the press serves the interests of the nation and this election.
Don't compare her to Hillary. Palin does not even come close in preparation and intelligence.

The press is far from where they should be. They need to keep going after her. There have been way too many lies in the McCain campaign, especially on Palin's behalf.
I really do not see how any intelligent person could regard her as ready for office. I mean, have you seen her in interviews? She thinks that because she can see Russia from her house that she has foriegn policy experience! "As Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where do they go? It's Alaska." So because the Russian Prime Minister flies over her state she has foriegn policy experience? What is the world come to? Seriously, I cannot see how this woman thinks. I disagree with you 100%. There are so many other things that the press has found out about her, so stop complaining. Read the rolling stone article (below). McCain was going after Obama for not wearing a little American flag pin! What importance does that have at all? None. He just couldn't find anything else wrong with Obama's campain. Sarah Palin is not qualified to be vp, let alone President! McCain is highly likely to die soon. He is very old, there is no denying that. Sarah Palin would not be able to keep the country together. She is very proud that she is a "hockey mom". I think she should just stick to that.

There have been the usual media outlets that thrive on trivial and outrageous things about anyone in the public eye
As a avid news watcher I fail to see why the Mc Cain camp is trying so hard to blame the real media outlets for trying hard to ask her real hard questions
She is Mc Cain choice as vp....they have every right to try and get interviews without all the ...no do not ask this...no do not say that..no only pictures can be taken on our terms...no you must leave
They have not had chance to vet her......for the public
Just because Mc Cain says she is ready to be our vp...does not make it right
This is our country and reason why there is so much attention paid to this is for this VERY reason!!
Then when she did give interview it was a totally mind blowing unreal and no one even has a clue what she said!!
Explain it...........
Even the up coming so-called debates have SPECIAL rules in place just for her!!!!!! No direct contact with Biden for one
If she can not do press interviews, answer questions without having someone hold her hand......how can do the job as vp
to the world super power!!!!!!!!!!
No............the public has had enough of the cover-up and not wise to try and pull wool over the public eyes.....not stupid and they SEE what is happening
What they have seen is his total lack of judgment by picking this woman ....and that alone goes against his slogan...country first
They are turning fast..............
Does NOT make the average person more sympathetic......just the average numb skull
Enough is enough...with playing with our future ....ENOUGH and demand the press to become MORE forceful and DO THEIR JOBS

There is a saying:
"If you cannot stand the heat, get out of the kitchen!"
All political candidates are expected to be put into this kind of scrutiny. You do not expect the media to be saying "Ohhh Palin is the best, wicked best soccer mom fit for VP by the grace of God."
If you dont like it, you can always turn off the TV or your computer. Or you can change the channel or the website, simple as that.

the fact that EVERY news organization isn't calling for her resignation is a disgrace. She's an absolute ignorant fool. McCain says "country first," I say BS-- you liar, con artist. She was chosen for pure political reasons, and not with the best interest of the US in mind. McCain is 72 and has had cancer FOUR times. He needed to pick someone ready to be pres NOW. McCain is a traitor. If she is has the intellect and experience to be Pres, then anyone--LITERALLY anyone--also has the intellect and experience to be pres. Even FOX and many conservatives are going after her. I was leaning toward McCain a month ago, now i'm a die hard obama supporter, and it's all b/c of Palin. She reminds me so much of this person: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj3iNxZ8Dww

This is only the beginning. The small-minded always attack those who they cannot encounter with a sound logical argument.
I find it laughable that the democratic party has been warned against this mode of operation because of the negative consequences it would have and they are still ignorant enough to pursue this irrational policy!
Anyone who has observed world history knows that it is suicide for the weak to attack the strong, and that those who attack what appears to be weakness suddenly find themselves thoroughly beaten by those they despise and pour their contempt on.
It has been the case throughout this campaign that the supporters of Obama have yet to come up with sound reasoning for his election, and therefore have elected to attack the man who is stronger in his age, wisdom, education and experience in order to hopefully salvage all the gaffes and inexperience of their candidate. Their lies and distortions have shown a wiser public how vile and crooked the media can be when they are threatened to lose their hold on the mind of this nation.
Fear is their motivation, and fear is the greatest revealer of ignorance, bias, and gross misinterpretation of facts as they keep on announcing to the public what their true purpose is. The public is getting sick and tired of the manipulative nonsense the media promotes and sees very clearly through them.
I do encourage them to do their worst because it will help the "best" candidate and VP candidate get into office! Fools promoting a foolish man-child - what a travesty!

Ive had enough of the press but please don't try to compare what Sarah Palin is going through to the 20 years of hell those jerks put Hillary Clinton through. I'm a demacrat voting for McCain and Palin if the press doesn't knock her out of the race first. I don't agree with her on a lot of issue's but I,ll gladly vote for her over that lying inexperienced imature jerk Obama any day.
